Using my phone overseas

I am currently in England for the holidays, and I cannot get any service. I added Global/International  usage to my account when I bought the phone back in January. I specifically bought this model because I travel quite often. I was told (at the time) this would be the best phone for traveling.
I have the Motorola Droid Global 2 phone. I went into the settings and clicked on "Global"  I see from one of the posts that I was supposed to dial *622 BEFORE I left the US. I didn't do this, so I cannot dial it now as I have no service.
How can I now get my phone to work overseas if I cannot dial the number??

You generally need to call the International Service team to have your SIM card activated for global roaming before you can use it overseas.  They have an international contact number that you can find under "Contact Us."  If your phone needs any programming, they should be able to walk you through it manually.

    I receive a 4s after been use for 2 years in the verizon network and the customer upgrade to a 5. I will like to use the phone overseas but I do not use Verizon, how I can get this phone legally unlocked without having to add service because I'm with Sprint under a contract?
    I can get the prior  owner of the phone info if you nedd to contac her to verify, just let me know thank you.
    If the phone was used in the Verizon network for 2 years, is that not enough time to get the phone unlocked?

    I have sprint phone and service without simcard, Sprint and Verizon use CDMA. But if I can get the Verizon iPhone 4S unlocked, I can use it let's said in the caribean, canada, europe etc.,  with a local simcard from the service provider and country that I visit . No to be use here in USA with Sprint or Verizon, only to be use with GSM-Simcard when I travel out of USA. 

  • Using and viewing camera phone overseas

    Yes, just turn DATA OFF (or put it in airplane mode to turn Data/Voice off) to avoid data charges. Then turn wifi on when available.
    You can definitely take as many pictures with your Trophy as you'd like at no cost to you. It would be best to  turn the data off so you won't have roaming charges. I would also like to just add this link that gives you the International Data Roaming Rates 
    Have fun on your trip!

  • I travel Alot and want to use my iphone overseas

    I have been with Cingular/ATT for the last 4 years. I jsut bought my iphone because I do enjoy the use of safari while I'm on the run, since I run an ecommerce company. I have heard that we can not unlock our iphones if we go overseas, is this true? My Nokia's were unlocked, basically every time I travelled which ever company was the manufacturer, I would request a code and I would get it. So are we basically just stuck using the phone in the US, and get bent over on roaming charges and long distance when we travel? What about the people who are in the country I'm visiting they would need to call Boise, Idaho, to get a hold of me. What if I met a hot chick and she wasnts my number, then what, I gotta ask her to call me in the USA? Thats kind of silly, I'm hoping there is a way to unlock the phone, otherwise, I wont be using it for 50% of the time. Someone let me know please if we can unlock our iphones.

    That's what I do. I don't want to lose my accessibility so I carry the iPhone and a cheap no-name GSM phone that I use with local prepaid SIM cards. People calling my number reach me while traveling, but I don't have to run up huge bills making local calls where I am temporarily located.
    You can also purchase 20 MB and 50 MB per month roaming data packages from AT&T so you can use the data features traveling.

  • Using Prepaid Freedom overseas

    Could someone please clarify Prepaid Freedom use whilst overseas. I am currently a postpaid user but thinking of switching as for same cost i would get more call allowance and way more data on prepaid. But i dont understand if/how i can use phone overseas. On that prepaid Freedom plan, what charges would i be expecting if i took it overseas and made a call to an Australia mobile number, or a SMS?Also, can i keep my postpaid number when i change to prepaid (both Telstra)?Thanks

    Last question first Does, yes youi can retain your number. I'd suggest that you pop onmto the following link, it offers a comprehensive summary of everything associated with the pre-paid Freedom plan and use, rates etc. both in Australia and overseas: https://www.telstra.com.au/content/dam/tcom/personal/help/pdf/cis-personal/mobile/personal-critical-information-summary-tpp-mobile-summary.pdf 

  • I'm being charged for usage without actually using my phone!!!

    I'm using my unlocked iPhone overseas in Baku, Azerbaijan on a prepaid sim card from Azercell. Every 15 or 20 minutes my phones alerts me of used minutes and the amount of usage that I have left even though I haven't recently placed or received a call. I'm guessing the problem is with the sim card or the service. Has anyone of you guys/ gals ever had this problem? Does anyone know how I can correct this problem? Anxiously waiting...

    The built-in applications on the phone (weather, stocks, and email if you haven't turned off automatic syncing) periodically update content. There is no way to disable this feature. In countries where the phone can be sold and used legally this is not an issue, because the data usage is included in the plan. If you use the phone unlocked, however, you are at the mercy of the cellular provider.
    I suggest moving this discussion to a non-Apple site, because further discussion of an unlocked phone here will get the thread deleted. You need to contact the provider of your unlocking software.

    I think he was refering to charging the iPhone not a calling plan.
    Here is what I found on a Google search:
    From an Electrical Engineer. Short answer: Yes.
    Long answer: The only things that is important for using any AC adapters overseas are the following:
    * You need to have the right type of plug. If you do not it will not fit, and if you force it, it could break.
    * The adapter needs to support the right voltage for input. Some of the world uses around 110 volts. The rest uses around 220 volts. Many digital devices have power adapters that support both, which is often written as 100-240V or sometimes 110-240V. As long as it support both you are good. If it does not things get messier, and I won't get into them here.
    * It must support the correct frequency for input. Again some parts of the world use 60 Hz, the rest uses 50 Hz. Just about all AC adapters support both. If the do they will say 50-60Hz.

  • IPhone 5s with hearing aids via Bluetooth. Need to use the phone for voice, what's the best distance that the mic will pick up your voice

    I wear hearing aids that are made for Apple, the audio will go into the hearing aids via Bluetooth. I'll need to use my phone for voice only.. I drive for work and have a wok oh one too and both are synced to a bluetooh headset (LG). I'm trying to figure out how to talk on both phones ( use speakerphone on work phone?) without using a bluretooh headset.  I don't know the range of the microphone on the IPHON, thinking about hanging it around my neck or put the phone into a stand/holder on the dash and use the speakerphone feature.  Looking for ideas to make this simple

    You can't do anything with that problem.
    Take your iPhone to the closest Apple Store and they will give you new one for 200€/$ or if you bought your iPhone in less than 12 months you will get it for free.

    I have bought an used Iphone 5. I dont have the password for the existing login id of the old owner. How do i use the phone and change the log in id?

    Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password.  You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in.  hope this helps.

  • I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

    I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes?  I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
    I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
    - Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
